VIDEO- BOOK HURLED AT OBAMA IN PHILADELPHIA
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 10, 2010, 8:44 PM
The state-run media today reported that Obama’s Sunday event, before a mostly black audience, was somewhat smaller and less enthusiastic than last week’s rally in Madison…
Except for the book that was hurled at his head that the media ignored.
(second 24 after he puts his hand down)
Yes, it’s true. Our state-run media is so corrupt that they will not report that a book was hurled at Obama and barely missed hitting his head.
Only the British media had the guts to report on it.

Maybe because the picture is so grainy, I’m still not seeing it after watching it twice. At how many seconds in this clip does it occur?
vsatt commented:
I’m not seeing it either
Richard Romano commented:
I’m against the president’s terrible economic policies and juvenile rhetoric, but this is just wrong.
You do not throw a book at our president. It’s disrespectful, and criminal.
We didn’t like it when that low-life threw shoes at Bush; we shouldn’t praise or excuse the low-life who did this either.

Annoyed In Illinois commented:
I’ve seen sveral other videos and it almost looks as if someone has tossed it upwards behind Barry Boy. Sympathy vote?
Did you notice that the post-racial Presdient resorted to his Martin Luther King drawl mode of speaking again? In front of feather-headed lib kids in Madison (WI) last week he trotted out the “You know how cool I am” garbage.
I suppose if he goes to Minneapolis he’ll try to sound like Ole and Lena.
Disgusting.
donh commented:
Look at the top at the 25 second mark and a small corner of the book cuts acoss at a very high speed. It was no gentle toss.

I reloaded the video with a better shot of the incident. Check it out around 23-24 second mark.
Dave in Houston commented:
It happens about the 19 or 20 second point. I wonder what the book was. The Federalist Papers? The Road to Serfdom? A Confederacy of Dunces?
HorendoRevolver commented:
finally saw it, but still aint convinced it was a book being thrown……..or photoshopped……..
be right or yer just wrong !!!!!!
Blinking Hag Sally Quinn commented:
Someone has to find out what was written on that Kal Penn lookalike’s fat belly. That holds the key as to why the American media is having a blackout here. I guarantee you it was some progressive slogan and site.
Opaobie commented:
It would have been fitting if the book was Bob Woodward’s OBAMA’S WARS…or a Michelle Obama “How to prepare veggies from the White House manure-fertilized garden Cookbook”….
Ed commented:
how many democrats snickered when someone threw a shoe at George Dubya? I am no sorry or disgusted that someone threw a book at Obama. After what he’s done to the country, I can understand the anger at him, and I don’t view the book thrower as someone disrespecting the presidency, Obama has done more to trample on the office of the President than anyone else.
Opaobie commented:
…looks like it says, “MY MOM is a SLEAZE” and them “MOM” written vertically on his lower abdomen with an arrow pointing up….
Spartan79 commented:
#14 has it exactly right. If the thrower was a tea partier, we’d be seeing endless loop 24/7 coverage on CNN, complete with video enhancements showing the flying book in a circle, and there would be a bevy of experts and security consultants parading into the studio to pontificate about the increasing violence of deranged right-wing zealots. Since there has been almost no coverage in the MSM, we may safely conclude that the thrower was some lefty.
Daezy commented:
It’s ok to throw a shoe at Bush, but not a book at Obama?
It’s ok to call Bush a nazi, but not Obama?
It’s ok to oppose Bush, but if you oppose Obama you’re a racist?

I see a book thrown but in a two dimensional picture there’s little depth perception. Could have been five feet away and who knows why. Maybe Biden just got the news he might be dropped from the ticket in 2012.

0bama:
It was a close one but, the teleprompter and my ear are OK. The book hurled at me was my latest edition of “Barky 0bama for Dummies.”
My limousine is running and Barney and Joe are in the back. So, let’s bury this incident and Move On. Good day
Joanne commented:
No doubt heads will roll.
Dr. Love commented:
More interesting….Look at the scowl he has after he finished reading his TelePrompter. He menaces the audience with contempt. Then, at one point, right before the book, he remembers people can see him and he puts on his hopey face.
Callipygian1 commented:
Give me a judicial appointment; I’ll be glad to throw the book at him…

Thank G-d the book did not strike our President.
As others have mentioned, consider if this had happened with W. It would be the number one topic on all airwaves.
The bias of our main-stream media is truly incredible- they will harp for close to a week about someone shouting an epithet at a McCain/Palin rally (which was never verified, and strongly refuted, so it probably didn’t happen), yet when the top Democrat office holder is physically assaulted (yes, that’s what happened) at his own rally, not a word is spoken about it.
The main stream American media has no integrity or credibility, and is guilty of sedition. Thank G-d for the internet and AM radio, and for alternative media such as this web site.
Pray for America and its leaders. And then VOTE!
Best regards, Peter Warner.
Chkn Fryd commented:
PW @ 53: Well done indeed PW; but thank Jim, not God. Afterall, God made the President and myself, and ya’ll don’t care for either person one bit.
I still say selective coverage is better than crowd selection. And you can’t get more selective coverage than the FOX news panel on Sunday mornings”Obama did it!” At least wait for the slanted question before you go all fair and balanced, all the while never getting around to answering what was asked. Sorry CNN stole the FOX News secret formula: selective coverage = ratings goldmine.

Gee, then why is CNN ratings so poor IF both are doing the same thing. Flawed logic again.
Here is a factoid for ya, the COMBINED viewership of CNN,NBC,CBS,ABC,MSNBC and HLN is less than FOX news. I guess the left is the one drinking the kool aid again from the regular vedors. News is a product, the other news outlets treat the public like they are idiots. Fox just reports, not always accurately sometimes spiking entire events. That is why I love the internet.
P.S. GOD made Hitler too it is our choices that make us good or evil. Obama is a socialist your just a sycophant. powder is dry

An Opinion From The Czech Republic
Sunday, October 10, 2010 3:08 P
“Prince of Fools”
This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
Said the same thing months ago, the biggest danger to America is an ignorant electorate.
Take chkn lips for example. powder is dry

Well, even the DUmmies are denying it happened, with video evidence from C-SPAN site. Apparently C-SPAN photoshopped its own video.
Some claim its just folded up papers. I’m no physicist, but would folded up papers move that fast?

Sorry….the man is trying to be an evil dictator. What’s good for saddam hussein is good for barry hussein. Imho.
DINORight commented:
What strikes me most about this incident is the crowd. Since Tea Party crowds are “mostly whites” they are deemed “racist” rallies. Does that not mean that any rally with a majority of one race (in this case, African-American) is “racist”?
Logically yes; illogical, liberal leftist, PC propaganda says……no, not remotely!
That logical analysis won’t make the news in Britain. They have their own PC problems in the UK.
Rocketman commented:
What you don’t get from the video is that the thrower tossed a copy of Das Kapital while yelling, “I read your book and it sucks!”

Oh, it’s utterly scandalous, this media “cover-up” you’ve unearthed. Perhaps there are reasons nobody’s making note of this event? Such as not giving encouragement to people looking for cheap publicity:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/man-streaks-front-obama-1-million_501259.html
But no, I’m sure you’re right. It’s a conspiracy. (And one so vast, it’s entrapped the Weekly Standard too!)
Concerned commented:
This and the streaker bothers me. We don’t need an assassination, no matter what kind of ass-President Obama is. With security this lax, anger high, and people losing all sense of respect for the office of President, perhaps these townhalls are not a good idea.

To Richard Romano,
He is not legitimate, he is no ones legitimate President.
He lies to people’s faces on a daily basis, yet you think you are so morally superior, to say people shouldn’t throw a book at him. Ok, how about we do that metaphorically, as in “throw the book at him.”
This man is an impostor, he deserves NO RESPECT! That is something you earn by treating others with respect. HE DOES NOT DESERVE RESPECT! How about he treat others with respect by not giving people the “finger.” How about he treat others with respect by not lying. How about he treat others with respect by following the United States Constitution that he took an oath to uphold.
Go to hell!

April@79:
‘Next time make it the heaviest Bible you can find, and don’t miss!’.
I’m sure you’re joking, but please be careful. Larger Bibles weigh something like thirty pounds, which make them very difficult to throw, and yet also serious weapons.
If someone was hit by one, it could easily be serious, nothing to laugh about, nor take pleasure in.
It would also be misuse of G-d’s Word: The Bible speaks very clearly about our obligation to those G-d has placed in authority above us. We should not seek to take G-d’s justice in our own hands (Numbers 12:9).
It would be much more effective and productive to throw words of truth, than something physical. Representative Joe Wilson’s honest outburst illustrated that. I think Wilson did the right thing; consider what would have transpired if he had thrown even a pen at the speaker instead.
Best regards, Peter Warner.
A Conservative Teacher commented:
Was it a miniture Constitution? At the healthcare townhall my Congressman held last year, I had a mini-Constitution taped to a rock (to give it some throwing weight) that I was prepared to throw at my Congressman (to literally hit him over the head with the Constitution). I wasn’t able to get in though, because the SEIU bused in hundreds that morning.

I really won’t be surprised if there is some sort of ‘event’ before the election? They are filth. They are traitors. And they will stop at nothing.
Though I would hope we can all wait a measly 22 days, to find out [but if they indeed, do somehow, manage to hornswoggle the election? Then ya's all on your own (as it were)].
